For a long time, the status of women javascript:; is still in a very awkward position. The general public seems to have a new understanding of women and a fairer view, but in cases of sexual assault, the public opinion is still relatively rigid and indifferent to the victims. The description of the conflict between men and women and the so-called "Girls' Code" in the movie "Fantasy" gave me a deep impression.
The film mainly tells the story of three girls and three boys meeting at a concert, and then going to dinner. The boys want to move but the girls resist, and finally hurt people and go to court. Such things are not rare in real life, and evil has always existed. But what is worth thinking about is how to treat victims in rape cases? There are various public opinions on the victims, but a large part of them are full of maliciousness. Many people have an inherent gender bias and outdated stereotypes about women.
Whenever news broke on social media that a woman was sexually assaulted, "Who told you to wear so little, you deserve it", "You are not a serious person when you wear it like this" and other remarks are endless, engulfing the deep feelings of netizens. Malicious. Is dressing relatively cool as a hint to men? Is it just asking for trouble and seeking evil results? A museum in Belgium once exhibited the clothes worn by women when they were sexually assaulted. It is obvious that there are various kinds of clothes on display. The items on display include pajamas, sportswear, and even small pony motifs. Child's shirt. The clothing displayed in the exhibition is as innocent as the victims themselves. Rape is rape. Regardless of the motive and purpose of rape, it is immoral and illegal. Why do we have such maliciousness towards the victims, such malicious speculations?
The purity of women does not depend on clothing. Behind the elegant and generous image of suits and leather shoes may also be doing unspeakable and illegal activities, and the tattered and revealing clothes may also be hidden strong men. Judging women's clothes, crucifying their personalities on the cross of sin is unjustified. What's more, even if women wear relatively cool and revealing clothes, men can act unscrupulously and have a permit to touch them? Women shouldn't go out alone. They walk on the road like an active dish waiting for men to enjoy. First label women as bad women, and then rationalize rape. With such unreasonable and violent thinking, the perpetrator is more like a victim.
In the court where the two sides confronted each other, according to the boys' defense lawyers' knowledge of girls, the white-haired lawyer summarized the "Women's Rules."
1. Girls cannot go to any place with boys alone. If you go, it will be considered voluntary for a long time, and boys can act on her.
2. Girls can't laugh or have body language when they talk, or they will be considered misbehaving.
3. Girls should never drink with boys, otherwise they will be misunderstood as she has been drinking with me, and going to bed is not the same. Even if you have explicitly said "no".
The Girls Code is small and big, full of the ubiquitous bondage of women and the deaf numbness of society. The natural behavior of human beings is regarded as the impersonality of women, and every move of women is full of hints in the eyes of men. The hegemony of the patriarchal society, the disrespect and discrimination against women, the use of men’s ideas and opinions to classify and judge women’s behavior as they should be, and thus form a mindset. This social external force tears women apart And reconstruct it.
In addition, the word "decent" appears repeatedly in the film, with the lines "A decent family like us can't do..." "Will decent girls go to resorts with strangers?" "They are not decent girls" and so on. The word "decency" was mentioned twice. Is it not decent for girls to go to boys’ homes to play? Is it not decent to dress up with heavy make-up while drinking? Is it a hint to laugh at you? Does it mean you have some kind of privilege to touch girls? The so-called decency is actually the prejudice and discrimination against women in the patriarchal society. Natural human behavior is impersonal to women, and it is assumed that women can "enjoy" at will.
The male protagonist in the movie, graduated from Cambridge, has a life experience, dressed in suits and leather shoes, wearing gold-wire glasses, looks impressive, and looks like an intellectual elite. But can he be considered decent only by his glamorous appearance? Can you think that he has nothing to do with this rape case? Appearance decency is not linked to substantive decency. Judging a person’s personality and behavior based on clothing and appearance is too arbitrary and too shallow.
Saving women begins with the elimination of prejudiced colored glasses. The so-called rules for girls only look down upon girls.
"We have been working in the wrong direction. We should save boys instead of girls. Because if we save our boys, our girls will be safe." Traveling for precious jewelry suddenly stepped forward maliciously to rob, is it the problem of our wearing jewelry? The malice in my heart is inherently there, but it is aroused on different occasions and under different circumstances. In the same way, a crime is a crime. No matter how many reasons to justify a crime, it is only to avoid the responsibility that should be borne, and refuse to look directly at the malice and weaknesses in the heart. To cover up one's malice and bad motives in the name of women, adding too many moral interpretations and personal emotions is just a kind of emotion, which is a prejudice against women.
To lift the prejudice against women must truly respect the wishes of women. "No" means "no", there is no extra explanation, there is no so-called half-push half-stop.
In the film, the white-haired lawyer asks the victim
"Since you are not a virgin and you have slept with some people, what does it matter if you sleep one more?" the girl said "i said no".
Whether the woman is an acquaintance, a friend, a girlfriend, a prostitute, or even your own wife, it doesn't mean no. When others say no, you must stop. "No is no, it is a manifestation of personal will, a verbal resistance to prevent further action. "No" is not just a word, it is a complete sentence without further explanation. This is not only a respect for free will, but also It is respect for women and people.
"Turn your scarf into a banner, wave it, and start the revolution, and the sky will tremble. If your scarf falls, it will cause an earthquake, and start a journey of self-exploration."
At the end of the film, the girls stand on the balcony facing the warm sunshine and looking into the distance. Although the movie ends with the victory of justice and female resistance, in reality, there are still many women who have been stigmatized, and there are still many that we need to reflect on.
There are gray areas in surveillance and gray areas in laws, but movies can illuminate those areas. I hope that one day, the gray area will be illuminated after all, and a more equal and harmonious society will be ushered in.
